Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

The ruins of Moo, and if you want to get to the ruins, you have to go through a huge desert.

"The Haina Desert is the largest desert in Alola, and it's also a natural maze. Only the most professional guides can lead you through it. As for the shrine...it's actually in the center of the desert. We should be able to reach it in a few hours."

Looking at the endless yellow sand in front of her, Alola puffed out her chest proudly. As a local and the manager of the sacrifice, she was very familiar with this place.

"The desert... You can't even see Ultra Beasts here."

Qiao Ran closed his eyes and felt a little. He really couldn't sense any breath of the ultimate beast nearby. In the endless yellow sand, there was only a vast expanse of sand. I'm afraid that even those ultimate beasts would not choose to survive here.

——After all, this is not one of those ultimate worlds where there is no choice. There are still many spaces suitable for living on this island. Those ultimate beasts are not stupid, and there is no need for them to waste time in such a barren desert, right?

"Although there are few Ultra Beasts, there are quite a lot of Pokémon..."

Compared to other places, Pokémon in the desert obviously live a much more comfortable life. Qiao Ran even saw some Pokémon that originally did not live here appear in the desert. I'm afraid - these were forced in by the Ultra Beasts.

The invasion of organisms will inevitably cause damage to existing structures.

All Qiao Ran could do was either put these Ultra Beasts into the frontier for unified management, or find a way to release them back to their original world. In short, it was too dangerous to let them stay in the Pokémon world.

Walking in the desert is not a comfortable experience.

After all, humans are not creatures that can live comfortably in the desert, especially Qiao Ran and Lillie, who actually came to this hot and arid area for the first time. Qiao Ran and his group walked and stopped, and rested for a while when they were tired and thirsty. Fortunately, Qiao Ran's ability could lead everyone to the real world for a short rest, which reduced the discomfort of the desert a lot.

"Acerola...is this how you usually perform sacrifices?"

Qiao Ran wiped the sweat from his head and glanced at Alola who seemed fine beside him. He had to admit that the people in the Alola region were indeed full of martial virtues and wildness.

"Yeah, it's not just me. Everyone on the island actually goes together during the ceremony."

Acerola nodded and continued asking.

"Aren't you tired?"

Chapter 624 [Desert Harvest]

There are huge differences in people's physiques.

Qiao Ran never thought that his enhanced self would have such thoughts one day. However, the contact with the flesh

heat.

This was the only thought he could come up with now.

“That’s why I dislike summer even more…”

Qiao Ran couldn't help but complain, and Lillie beside him nodded.

Under such a strong sun, she put on her sun hat again. Compared with Mei and Mitsuki, Lillie obviously cares more about maintenance. Moreover, her skin color is very fair and she likes to wear white dresses. If she suddenly becomes a little darker, it will be very obvious visually.

In order to avoid this situation, she can only try her best to ensure that she does not get tanned. In addition to the protection she should take, she also has to rely on some special products.

——Her mother Lusamine has also invested a lot in this area, and judging from Lusamine's maintenance situation, these research and developments are indeed quite meaningful.

After stumbling forward, finally, around four or five in the afternoon, Qiao Ran and the others finally saw the legendary "Harvest Ruins", an altar standing in the center of the desert, surrounded by various strange stones.

Although it is called "Harvest", it is in the position where it is least likely to produce a harvest.

Everything here is full of primitive and desolate atmosphere. It is obvious that it is not a modern creation. Under the erosion of time, the patterns and lines on the boulders have long been peeled off, revealing the original color of the stone.

And - what attracted Qiao Ran and others the most now was not the altar itself, but some unspeakable substance that was wrapped around the altar and surging in the sky and around it.

"Then...what exactly is it?"

Being so close, the uncomfortable feeling of palpitations is even suffocating. It is different from the feeling of facing the ultimate beast. These things have a certain "familiar" feeling, but make people feel very strange.

Qiao Ran released Yveltal, Laciram and the others, but they all shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know. However, there was one thing they seemed very sure of.

"That's not a normal power...but some kind of..."

Yveltal paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Qiao Ran.

"If you were to put it that way, it should be called 'rules'?"

"rule?"

Qiao Ran was stunned, not quite understanding what Yveltal meant. However, sometimes it is true that when the meaning is beyond the scope of language, even the closest words cannot fully express all the meanings.

However, seeing how cautious Yveltal and Laciram were, he understood something.

"Be careful...approach slowly and take a look at the situation."

Qiao Ran gave a few instructions to the girls around him.

These things now have obviously exceeded the scope of Alola's "Island God". Under normal circumstances, in a small area like Alola, there would not be things that make Yveltal and Lashiram treat them so cautiously.

Not to mention, this caution is not in terms of "power", but a certain "rule" mastered by the other party.

If it were just a matter of strength, then the problem would probably be easier to solve. No matter how strong the super soldier is, he still can't break out of the fixed pattern of thinking. But when the opponent has the ability to change the rules, it will go beyond expectations and behave in unexpected ways.

"..."

"Ah."

Several people nodded, closed the distance between each other, and showed a posture ready to counterattack at any time. If the situation was not good, Qiao Ran could immediately open the portal and take everyone away.

Approach the black and purple "substances" cautiously.

Take a step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Nothing happened.

Qiao Ran could even hear the rustling sound of his shoes on the sand. He even thought that something might rush out of that strange thing at any time, but none of this happened.

"..."

As the distance got closer, the full picture of the black and purple substance appeared before them.

Looking through the interior of the substance, they saw something other than desolation.

But - another incredible scene.

Just like a broken mirror, they actually saw countless fragments from those things.

A fragment made up of a part of the world.

Upside-down trees, upside-down waterfalls and inverted water surfaces float in the void. Sometimes those things appear suddenly, and sometimes they disappear suddenly, like some kind of intangible illusion.

And those strange objects are also surrounded by those strange black and purple substances, which make people feel dizzy and nauseous at a glance.

"Qiao...Ran...what on earth is this..."

Lillie was so frightened by this indescribable weird scene that even her body was shaking.

The other girls didn't dare to breathe. Even the brave Mei and Mitsuki couldn't help but clench their hands to relieve their tension.

No one could imagine how much impact this scene would have on an ordinary person. Even Qiao Ran's mind went completely blank when he saw this scene.

Witnessing all this is like witnessing another side of the world—a side that ordinary people can never see.

After he came to his senses, Qiao Ran finally understood the meaning of what Yveltal and Reshiram had said before.

"A destroyed world...a reversed world..."

As the trinity that constitutes the Pokémon world, Arceus, after creating "space" and "time", also created another world to maintain balance.

However, that world is different from the normal balanced world and is in a state of collapse at all times.

And what he saw now was most likely the "world" in the legend that existed on the opposite side and was used to maintain balance.

"Rotom!"

Qiao Ran immediately grabbed Rotom, who was flying nearby, and asked her to take a few photos. Anything he couldn't confirm at the moment could be brought back to Zhulan for inspection, as she knew much more about this than he did.

As for the rest... after seeing this scene, Qiao Ran no longer planned to act rashly.

The three gods of the Sinnoh region who control the source of everything are beings beyond imagination.

At least, it's better to be cautious now.

"..."

However, just as Qiao Ran finished taking the photos and was about to take a look around before retreating, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

A voice he was extremely familiar with.

—Rotom's voice.

"Singularity Triggered..."

Chapter 625 [Destroyed World: No. 787]

Desolate desert, yellow sand all over the sky.

A disturbing, black-purple, reversed aura lingered on the towering ochre-colored boulder not far away, and emanating from it was only the gloom and terror from the other side of the world.

And when that familiar voice sounded in Qiao Ran's heart, Qiao Ran's body froze in place.

The expression on his face suddenly became serious.

"Singularity Triggered..."

"A Ruined World: Number 787"

"Danger Level:???"

"area:???"

"Warning: This singularity is quite special. Please be prepared."

Rotom's voice seemed to have turned into that toneless machine again, but Qiao Ran couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart when he heard the strange yet familiar last sentence.

special……?

In the past, when a singularity was opened, there would not be such a sentence. Most of the time, it was just a general explanation, or even a situation where the information was incomplete. But this time, there was an extra sentence: "It's extraordinary!"

A sexual reminder.

This shouldn't be something that Rotom joined on his own, right?

After taking a quick glance at Rotom, who seemed to have not yet fully recovered to normal, Qiao Ran immediately looked away.

It seems... all the problems actually lie in the ruins in front of us, and in those auras.

It is precisely because this time is special enough that the result is different from the past.

"Qiao Ran?"

Seeing Qiao Ran suddenly stop moving and stand there in a daze, not knowing what he was doing, the girls who were already silent were even more frightened. Acerola directly touched Qiao Ran's chest, and felt a little relieved after confirming that he was not possessed by some strange ghost.

She is very knowledgeable about this aspect.

"It's okay...it's just that the problem here is a little special."

"Listen carefully, if I don't take care of things here, I don't think I'll be able to go to other worlds for the time being."

Qiao Ran briefly described the current situation to them, trying to reassure them as much as possible, but the fact was that they seemed even more uneasy.

After the singularity was opened, Qiao Ran lost the ability to travel through the world. This time was no exception. After Rotom recovered, Qiao Ran asked her to try to open the space gate, but as before, this ability was directly declared invalid.

- Although he could still use the Poké Ball to send his Pokémon back and forth to the frontier, he had lost his greatest support. For Qiao Ran, this was definitely a huge suppression. Without the ability to travel through the world, he had nowhere to escape.

"No...no problem?"

Although this was not the first time that such a thing had happened to Qiao Ran, it was obviously the first time that Lillie and the others had heard of such a thing. So, after hearing what Qiao Ran said, everyone suddenly became nervous and asked several questions in succession.

"It's okay. If that doesn't work, I can let you go to the frontier to rest first. Then I will go into the ruins alone... Although I can't travel through the world, it is still possible to put you in the frontier. But I have to use Poké Balls."

Qiao Ran thought of that special warning. If this place was really special enough, it would be better not to let these girls accompany him to take risks. It might be a good choice for him to go in alone.

Qiao Ran glanced at Rotom, indicating that she could teleport the girls to the frontier at any time. The relationship between the two no longer required any additional communication. Rotom also knew that in a mission like this where problems could arise at any time, Qiao Ran obviously had little time left to think about these things.

"If you want to come along, you can...but if there's danger, I've already told you what I'll do, right?"

Qiao Ran had already warned them about this issue, but looking at their determined eyes, he knew he didn't need to say anything more.

"Ah."

No one wanted to be the one lagging behind, even the weakest Lillie was trying her best to keep up with everyone.

"Then let's go in and take a look together."

“…What exactly is going on here?”

Since it is called a "singularity", there must be something special about it. Moreover, unlike the previous "singularities", the numbering here seems to be very different from the numbering in the previous "Pokémon World".
